Knowledge

The standards, technical specifications and guidelines developed by the international organisation World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) which allow the design and development of web applications.

Style sheet languages

The field of computer language that conveys the presentation of structured documents such as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). These documents have to adhere to style sheets, a set of stylistic rules such as font, color and layout.

The software programs to perform configuration identification, control, status accounting and audit, such as CVS, ClearCase, Subversion, GIT and TortoiseSVN perform this management.

Content development processes

The specialised techniques used to design, write, compile, edit and organise digital content, such as text, graphics and videos for publishing purposes.

Computer programming

The techniques and principles of software development, such as analysis, algorithms, coding, testing and compiling of programming paradigms (e.g. object oriented programming, functional programming) and of programming languages.

Web programming

The programming paradigm that is based on combining markup (which adds context and structure to text) and other web programming code, such as AJAX, javascript and PHP, in order to carry out appropriate actions and visualise the content.

Integrated development environment software

The suite of software development tools for writing programs, such as compiler, debugger, code editor, code highlights, packaged in a unified user interface, such as Visual Studio or Eclipse.

Skills

Interpret technical texts

Read and understand technical texts that provide information on how to perform a task, usually explained in steps.

Debug software

Repair computer code by analysing testing results, locating the defects causing the software to output an incorrect or unexpected result and remove these faults.

Develop software prototype

Create a first incomplete or preliminary version of a piece of software application to simulate some specific aspects of the final product.

Analyse software specifications

Assess the specifications of a software product or system to be developed by identifying functional and non-functional requirements, constraints and possible sets of use cases which illustrate interactions between the software and its users.

Collect customer feedback on applications

Gather a response and analyse data from customers to identify requests or problems in order to improve applications and overall customer satisfaction.

Use software libraries

Utilise collections of codes and software packages which capture frequently used routines to help programmers simplify their work.

Create flowchart diagram

Compose a diagram that illustrates systematic progress through a procedure or system using connecting lines and a set of symbols.

Use markup languages

Utilise computer languages, that are syntactically distinguishable from the text, to add annotations to a document, specify layout and process types of documents such as HTML.

Provide technical documentation

Prepare documentation for existing and upcoming products or services, describing their functionality and composition in such a way that it is understandable for a wide audience without technical background and compliant with defined requirements and standards. Keep documentation up to date.

Use software design patterns

Utilise reusable solutions, formalised best practices, to solve common ICT development tasks in software development and design.

Develop visual design from given specifications and requirements, based on the analysis of the scope and target audience. Create a visual representation of ideas such as logos, website graphics, digital games and layouts.
